Ingredients

  • 1 pound skirt steak
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound frozen french fries
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1/2 cup guacamole
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, and vegetable oil. Mix well to create the marinade.
  2. Add the skirt steak to the marinade and toss until the meat is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Grill the steak for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
  4. While the steak is resting, prepare the french fries according to the package instructions. Once they are done, transfer them to a serving dish.
  5. Slice the grilled skirt steak into thin strips. Arrange the steak strips over the french fries and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Place the dish under the broiler for a few minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Remove the dish from the broiler and top the carne asada french fries with guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!
